Paper, pen, pan, spoon.
To set up, put 60 sheets of paper on the floor in a checkerboard grid pattern with ten rows of six. Have one person secretly draw a picture of this grid on another sheet of paper that includes a path across the grid. The path may follow any adjacent square, but it may not go backwards. Jimmy is holding a sample path, but you may make any path you wish. Each person then takes a turn to try to cross the grid. If you choose the correct square, you go again. If you guess wrong, then you go to the end of the line and the next person starts. The person who knows the pattern tells participants if they are right or wrong by clanging a spoon on a pan when a person chooses an incorrect square. The goal is to get everybody across the grid by remembering the pattern and helping one another.
How did you feel to keep trying again and again until you figured out the route? What are some ways your family can persevere even when things don't go right the first time?
